Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Within a week the toe box was permanently "damaged" if you will. Like it bent and stayed bent from the top down so now my toes have the bottom of a "dent" from above rubbing on them and creating blisters. I tried to put the toe box back but it just has a memory of being indented now from the top

I bought my first pair of Brooks (as a teacher it wasn't an easy choice as they are not cheap). I would only be using the shoes to coach volleyball 3 days a week 2 hours at a time. After my 3rd time wearing them they started falling apart. The base of the shoes was wearing down and pieces of my shoe was routinely found on the volleyball court. I contact Brooks support and explained the situation and they sent me a replacement pair. Unfortunately, after only the 2nd use of the replacement pair they started to fall apart as well but even worse then the first pair. The inside of the 2nd shoe is now bent down into my big toe. I am very disappointed! Not to mention these shoes are not cheap! The fit, style, and comfort is all great but the overall factor the shoe comes off as VERY cheaply made! Sorry Brooks! You dropped the ball on this!

I would give zero stars if possible. I've been wearing Brooks for years and the recent changes have ruined the shoe. The nitro infused sole (glycerin 20 & 21) has ruined the shoe. It causes severe pain in the ball of foot. I've purchased several pairs thinking it was just an "off" pair but they all cause the pain. The shoe also feels more narrow than previous shoes. Time for a new brand.

I tried this out. I thought that they would be a good companion for my runs however they were horrible. They made my knees and hips hurt. I sent them back. Lesson learned I'll stick with my adrenaline and GTS.
